The highlight of the evening was our stop at the newly opened Krispy Kreme in Milford. We've posted before about how excited we are that the world's best doughnuts are now going to be available here, and now that the place is finally open I thought we'd pop in and get a quick sugar fix.
Well, apparently we're not the only people thrilled that Connecticut now has an alternative to the ubiquitous Dunkin' Donuts. There were cars lined up in every direction, and two policemen were directing traffic in and out of the parking lot! A sign pointed the way to satellite parking at a nearby restaurant, with a shuttle running back and forth to the Krispy Kreme. The line extended way outside the building, and there was a girl standing at the door letting people in a few at a time. And this was 7:00 on a Monday night, mind you.
As Abby and I were standing in line I remarked that the place had an eerie resemblance to a crack house, but that was really driven home when we reached the front of the line and a worker pulled two fresh doughnuts, piping hot and gooey with glaze, right off the assembly line and handed them to us, gratis. The first hit is always free. Not that I needed any convincing; I've loved Krispy Kremes ever since I was a little girl. My grandfather used take me to the one in Alexandria, Virginia and hold me up to the window to watch them being made.
We got a dozen "Original Glazed" and brought them back to share. Kate had two. It's been a good day. (Blogging from me may be somewhat reduced over the next few days, especially tomorrow, which is a travel day for part of the Cabinet.)
